Homemade Baked Chicken with Spice Rub

David and I are the masters of “make-do” – creating delicious recipes out of whatever we happen to have sitting around the kitchen. Once in a while, we just get tired of eating the same old things and forego all recipes, just throwing in whatever sounds good at the time and hoping it will turn out good. Well, this was one of those “make-do” recipes that turned out pretty spectacularly, and the credit is all David’s! This recipe is all his own and he even typed everything up himself, so with no further ado, it’s time to share with you David’s first blog post and very own baked chicken and spice rub recipe!
